The snow is long gone except on the mountains,
and as I write this, it’s 83°! In a matter of days, we’ve gone from white snow
and silvery frost to emerald alfalfa, chartreuse cottonwood leaves, and brilliant
yellow dandelions—by the zillion. The roses and flowers are weeks behind
schedule, but the Nanking cherries and golden currants are putting on a good
show.
We’re watching the apple trees to see if they’ll blossom this year. I’m
told that they should be old enough to start producing, but the recent cold snaps
may have had something to say about that!

“Thirsty deserts will be glad; barren lands will
celebrate and blossom with flowers.” –ISAIAH
